10:06 pm
want to boycott, so now they are divided, the result will be the muslim brotherhood, government of egypt will be most likely win this referendum. on the other hand the opposition is very strong in egypt, the return to the previous situation, so what i suggest the future is morsi will try to establish a referendum state in a very strong opposition for months and months for the regime innt egypt.nths lou: as we wrap up, professor, russia today walking back the comments that had been quoted from the deputy foreign minister basically saying they acknowledge he has been losing power and that his departure is a foregones conclusion, and now they're talking but strongdden support and making it very clear that frothey firmly support hisa >> russians cannot let go until
